        <ReturnReference>Description of purpose:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>In May 2006, the System was approved by the State of Mississippi to obtain special tax exempt financing (Series 2006 Bond) related to a medical office building under construction in Madison County, Mississippi. The special funding (GoZone) was made available through the Federal government in response to Hurricane Katrina. The GoZone financing totaled $17,000,000. On September 24, 2009, the organization redeemed and paid $2,600,000 of the bonds. Accordingly, the amount of the total GoZone financing of $17,000,000 was classified as a current installment of long-term debt in the balance sheet at August 31, 2009. On October 29, 2009, the organization converted the remaining GoZone financing of $14,400,000 from a variable instrument backed by a letter of credit from a commercial bank to a variable debt instrument held by the commercial bank. A Form 8038 was issued upon the conversion and the information reported in Part I matches this form. In March 2007, the System issued $200,905,000 in MS Hospital Equipment &amp; Facilities Authority Series 2007A (fixed rate) and 2007B (variable rate) revenue bonds (the Series 2007 Bonds). The proceeds of the Series 2007 Bonds were used to (1) extinguish the remaining MHEFA Series 1995 and 1990B revenue bonds, (2) establish a project fund to finance the costs of various System capital projects, primarily the West Tower expansion, (3) establish various debt service and reserve funds required by the related indenture, and (4) pay certain costs of issuance. In April 2008, the System consummated a transaction with a bank, whereby an $80,000,000 line of credit was made available for the extinguishment of the Series 2007 Bonds. The amount in Part I, column (e) for the Series 2007 Bonds does not agree with the Form 8038 filed for such bonds since the 2007B Bonds are no longer outstanding and therefore not reported on Schedule K. The Series 2009 Bond was issued to provide funds to payoff the outstanding principal amount of the line of credit mentioned above executed in April 2008.</Explanation>
